US Insert; 36 x 91 cm (14" x 36")
Fine+ Folded; Bill Gold
Warner Bros., 1942

A US insert poster from the promotion of Casablanca, Michael Curtiz's romantic war drama. A pinnacle of Golden Age Hollywood and arguably the greatest romantic drama to grace the silver screen, Casablanca has stood the test of time. Starring Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman, with brilliant support from Claude Rains, Paul Henreid, Peter Lorre, and Sydney Greenstreet, the film follows café owner Rick Blaine (Bogart), who is quietly sitting out the war in French Morocco, until his former flame Ilsa Lund (Bergman) re-enters his life with her fugitive husband, Victor Laszlo (Henreid). Nominated for eight Academy Awards and winning three, Casablanca continues to enjoy enduring popularity, with posters from its original release highly prized by collectors worldwide. Designer Bill Gold said of this poster artwork: "My initial thoughts were to put together a montage showing all the characters depicted in the film. I wanted to have Humphrey Bogart in the foreground and Ingrid Bergman behind him looking on. I didn't want to give away their romance. The client loved it but said there was no excitement, so I put a gun in Bogart's hand."

Unrestored and showing only minimal handling wear. It would merit a grade of Near Mint- were it not for a tiny area of paper loss in the top-left corner. Originally folded, the poster has been stored flat for many years, which has largely flattened the two horizontal fold lines, leaving minimal wear.
